The OOT is the only forum I even post in. While I agree that any forum is going to require moderation to a degree, if it does turn into this '**** regime' I'm out as well.


While I see where you're coming from, that statement is nothing but an overly defensive antagonistic piece of ****. Nobody's banning anybody, and nobody's saying you can't post what yo uwant. They're just trying to keep it contained in a designated area. If people would quit being such doody heads about it and move already, everyone would be in the asylum and the situation would be back to normal.

What is with this attitude of ZOMG NOT THE ASYLUM I'M AN OOT SOLJER4LIFE!.

What is an asylum thread, though? Anything with a broken wordfilter? Mild sexual content? Outright raunch? Calling Barack Obama an silly cnut?

This is all that needs to be established, here, in the OoT. That's what I was trying to do with the other thread, is figure out what the boundaries are, because hell, I don't even know what those boundaries are, AND I WORK HERE! Smiley: lol

You know what the OOT really needs: Give me Absolute Power.

But seriously, the whole moving to the OOT to the Asylum shtick isn't gonna work. It didn't work when the Asylum was created either--you didn't move them, you created a new forum for people who couldn't deal with them. I mean, you can spend all eternity sticking a round peg into a square whole or you can cope with reality--make this an 18+ forum, considering 18+ posters are most likely to bother paying for premium and warn 12 year olds that me, as an almost 37 year old woman, might not post something appropriate for elementary school students.

Or we can change the name of the section to the Bob Jones Commemorative Forum. Rated G! Now with no commentary that is MEAN!

Honestly, I think you guys are looking at the most vocal posters on this subject. I see the same handful of people complaining. Not only that, but they're complaining with very little detail in what's actually going on. There are a WHOLE LOT of other posters here who haven't given their opinion on the matter. Mainly because they don't care. They aren't posting things that need to go to the Asylum, so this whole argument is quite moot.

I also think many of you are seeing "go to the Asylum" and think it means you need to leave the OoT. I don't think they're saying take all the shenanigans to the asylum. Just take the stuff that belongs there there. If you don't think people will understand there, but it's too much for here, then don't say it. If you wanna make a silly thread, do it here. People from the asylum post here all the time.

I can only speak for myself, but I do post in the asylum on occasion but I post very differently. The asylum has a different voice. It has its own culture and history and way about itself. I really don't think it's fair to them to force them to accept what amounts to an invasion. Considering how much larger the OOT population is, and how much more active it is, it's fair to say that a widescale migration to =4 would, within a week, likely leave the asylum unrecognizable... And then those nice asylum folks, some of whom have been frequenting this site since it was little more than Big Jeff's geocities page will have lost something that they (presumably) care about.

To your first half of your post: The people complaining tend to be the most frequent posters. Many, who are the backbone of there being any life in the OoT in the first place.

To your second half: Most threads don't start Asylumesque in nature, but evolve into it. Should every thread just go into the Asylum so that when it evolves into an Asylumesque thread, its already there and we can just move the non-Asylum threads out after 25 posts?

I couldn't agree with Rime more. I think this has a lot to do with you Mel. After your little "I need attaention" antics, people started to monitor what was going on here and felt they needed to clean it up.

Thanks for crying!

Until we have a clear understanding of what needs to be taken there, that is what they are asking. The implication is (and please, Nix, correct me if I'm wrong) that inappropriate threads will be locked and repeat offenders will be subject to mutes/nukes/bannination. Without knowing where the line is we are left with the choice of either fumbling blindly in the dark here, risking admin smackdowns, or posting there and polluting =4 with random silliness (which is just not fair to =4).

Definitely the LAST poster that needs to try to be the voice of any sort of reason around here. Most, if not all, of this stuff is stemming from your antics of posting about your personal life, it being made fun of, you saying you don't care, it being made fun of some more, and you crying to the admins that we kicked you in the shins in the ******* playground. I honestly don't care about a lot of things that happen in here, but I do like to fill my time at work chatting with the people in here. This is called getting friends on the internet, something you're obviously not skilled in whatsoever.



Oh, and GFY.
